  1. What evidence is there that Autism is linked to environmental factors? The MMR vaccine is so common that a correlation link can be made to any childhood issues.
  2. If I had to meet JD Vance, I'd want to die too.
  3. Using anti-semitism as an excuse to try and implement sweeping oversight is pretty gross. I'm not really buying that whole Free Speech thing about the US anymore. It's only free if Trump likes it.
  4. This. I'm not sure why anyone would consider the US for their tourism dollars. I saw on Twitter that California has started a campaign to get Canadian tourism dollars. That's fine and good, but ICE can still get you in California. No one in the free world should support the US tourism industry.
  5. This is what he did with Canada and Mexico on a larger scale. Threaten tariffs and within a day pause them. He can rinse and repeat this act over and over again. Hopefully the world realizes dealing with Trump is like dealing with a toddler trying to get candy and looks for alternatives to their market.
  6. This is exactly what he did with Canada and Mexico. Threatens big tariffs says he won't back down. . . . then backs down. But only temporarily. So we'll be back at this again in a few months. It creates chaos and uncertainty. We can see that even though most Canadian exports are still tariff free, Canadians don't trust the US. The damage is done. This will repeat itself all over the world. Also the fight with China is rough. We often don't realize how much stuff we get from China. 100+% tariffs are going to sting.
  7. I'm starting to think it's solely to raise revenue. Shift the tax base away from income tax to tariffs. It's a regressive tax only poors have to pay anyway. Don't like it? buy USA!! Simple narrative. Fixing trade deficits can't be the ultimate goal. How do you fix a trade deficit with an third-world country that sells you clothing and electronics? The US only really has agriculture to offer. Agriculture built on potash imports from Canada BTW. That's probably why he's not pushing the Canada thing so much lately.
  8. Because the accusations may be false. You go to the US and they don't like your political speech and accuse you of a crime. Without due process you can't prove yourself innocent. This is one reason why I really don't want to visit the US as a tourist anymore. If they can't check my phone and send me to El Salvador without any due process? Thanks, but no thanks. You're no better than China.
  9. Then you should have no problem with the Administration complying with a court order regarding releasing the names of those deported. And you should believe that all people deserve due process. Not just citizens. Because if you don't have due process, how can you prove you're a citizen when they come for you?
  10. Reverse Nazi-ism. That's a new one. So whom are the true Americans? Is it a case of legality or race?
  11. This idea that only citizens are able to receive due process is quite fascist actually. What if I go to the US as a visitor? Can they send me to El Salvador without any due process? And again. The Trump admin is refusing to release the names of the people that were deported. The only reason we know of the ones that we do is because of pictures. Here's another one. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/01/its-a-tradition-outrage-in-venezuela-as-us-deports-makeup-artist-for-religious-tattoos
  12. You're a ghoul for calling the deportation of someone to a torture chamber making ommlets. Perhaps allowing the illegal export of millions of guns to Latin America allowed crime to proliferate causing a mass exodus of people fleeing violence.
  13. That's a moronic take. Randomly rounding up people from Lain America is justified because others did something bad. What if it was you? Or someone you loved? Oh because you're a white man, it could never happen to you. Trump's trying to create a fascist state where due process is denied to people he doesn't like.
  14. Conservatives have also found this quite insulting. He's doing well apparently. This is one of those elections where I won't be upset if either party wins. The LPC have move a fair bit to the centre.
  15. Ever hear the phrase: And it could be more. The Justice Department is refusing to release the names of people they sent to this prison.
  16. Even if it was, it was deeply insulting and threatening. Friends don't talk like that. Someone, probably Carney, must have finally gotten through to Trump that Canadians are the US's biggest customer and we're steering clear of everything American. AND Canadian energy is not something America can simply do without. Also, what did Trump gain from this? Nothing. Canada hasn't conceded anything yet. All this turmoil only to largely stick to the 2018 deal. He may still destroy the American auto industry, so there's that.

  18. What are you laughing at? That Trump is "kind of" keeping his word. . . for now. Canadian businesses are still smart to find alternative markets and to make alternative deals. If the US is fickle enough to elect someone who's this erratic then perhaps other markets are worth exploring. The Auto Tariffs are still an issue. Assembly plants on both sides of the border will close if tariffs, that account to their entire profit margin are charged.

  20. If it was enforced properly there'd be due process. Innocent people wouldn't have been sent without a hearing. The Justice Department also wouldn't be refusing to make the names public.
  21. I think you should be honest with yourself and realize the vast majority of the problems we see in the world over the last 5 years could be blamed on the consequences of COVID. Inflation, affordability, debt. Again, not a solely Canadian problem. It's speaks to economic factors that exist beyond the power of any given federal government. Affordability is a big problem in the state of Florida, a place with few regulations and low taxes. I think this is a desperate talking point. He was doing business in the interest of his investment firm. It's just like how the Liberals in Ontario tried to use Dofo's previous support for Trump against him. Things change when bro threatens Canada's independence. I see Carney has been able to do a lot in his small time as leader. And what will PP do? The thing about Trump is that he's the boy that's been crying wolf, punting the ball down the field in order to avoid retaliation. Tomorrow will be very informative on how this Trade War will unfold. That being said, I don't hear him talking about the 51st State much anymore Perhaps, or he know PP is not all that broadly popular and he's comfortable working with the current government.
  22. No, we're looking to elect a highly qualified economic mind. More qualified than a CPC leader that's only qualified at being a political attack dog. Name a developed nation where birth rate and affordability isn't a major problem. The US just elected someone that's goal is to make affordability worse. And he's on the "Conservative" team. Building more homes to reduce prices creates another problem with homeowners that only really have the equity in their home to fall back on because the erosion of pensions and the ability for people to save. I get the hate on for the Liberals, JT was arrogant and stubborn. But he's gone now. I've actually been quite impressed with how the Liberal team is looking to handle the Trump threat. It's telling that the newly elected PC leader in Ontario, Dofo, is refusing to campaign for PP and is more happy to work with the Liberals.
  23. I imagine reading about the internment of the Japanese in the 1940s gives you the warm and fuzzies.
